Tag. . .

LOVE this picture!!!!
Tag all about Michael and I (Because I know you are dying to know =))



What are your middle names? Michael TODD Burtis II (He says there will never be a Michael Todd Burtis III, because the name is too common, but we will see if I can't change his mind by the time we have a little Michael running around =)). Laura PAUL Burtis, my parents did not give any of us girlies middle names so that we can take our Maiden name as our middle. . . so that's just what I did.
How long have you been together? We have been married for almost 4 years (in May) and together almost 5 (in June).
How long did you know each other before you started dating? He had been coming into the Bank that I worked at for a few months, and every single time, I stared at him like the eye candy he is.
Who asked whom out? He asked me to "hang out".
How old are each of you? We are both 23 right now, he is only 2 months older than me - He turns 24 in April.
Whose siblings do you see the most? I would say it is pretty even. We see each side of the family often. I probably see my sister in law Kami the very most, only because we both go to the same gym. And next would be Kathrin since she comes to the gym with me sometimes too =).
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? This one is a tough one. . . probably saving $$; if it were up to Michael, we would save every single penny we earn. But me on the other hand, I LOVE to spend. . . The perfect example of this: when Michael and I got married he had a couple of thousand saved up and I had a few hundred in debt =). (nothing bad though). This is why we are SO perfect for each other!
Did you go to the same school? Nope, High School we both are from the "West side" He went to Cyprus and I went to Kearns. College, he just graduated from the U and I have been attending SLCC.
Are you from the same home town? See question above. . . Michael grew up in Magna, and I grew up in Kearns, maybe 8 miles away from each other. Who knew there was such a HOTTIE living so close!
Who is smarter? Michael by far! He is book smart and has wonderful common sense. I, however, am pretty dang insurance smart =). (That is really important you know).
Who is the most sensitive? This one is me. . .oopsy.
Where do you eat out most as a couple? We love to switch it up, but probably right now our favorite would have to be Tsunami. LOVE that place!
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Hawaii! Where we got married =). . . and we will be going back in the next year YIPPEE!!!! But we have also been to Iowa - twice. And to Mexico. And in less than a month we will be going to North Carolina!
Who has the craziest exes? I don't really have exes. I did "go out" with a couple of boys in Jr. High and High School, but that was only for like a month at most. And out of High School I did have a couple of boyfriends, but none long term. And Michael only has one ex - so I am not really going to answer this question.
Who has the worst temper? I am going to say Michael. He just gets frustrated a little easier than I do. (I am sure he is going to love that answer =)).
Who does the cooking? Michael is an amazing cook. He does it more often than I do. But I do make a mean lasagna.
Who is the neat-freak? Oh me FOR SURE!
Who is more stubborn? We are both stubborn.
Who hogs the bed? I think that would be me, I am always invading his space =). I just have to have my leg on his leg, or be touching feet all night! But he always steals all of the covers! So we are a good match.
Who wakes up earlier? Michael. I LOVE to sleep! I love to go bed early and wake up late =). Michael says that when he sleeps in, he feels like he is wasting most of the day. . . and my response "sleeping is SO not a waste!"
Where was your first date? We went and walked around Jordan Parkway and talked for hours! (If you ask him, I was the one that talked the entire time).
Who is more jealous? Interesting question. Probably me. . .
How long did it take to get serious? We were just "hanging out" for about 3 months, then we really started to get serious in October. (that was when the L word was used ;))
Who eats more? Michael with the normal food, but me, BY FAR with the candy. . .I have a problem. . .
Who does the laundry? I do, and the sad thing, I really don't mind doing laundry. I just hate how long it takes!
Who's better with the computer? It depends. I am pretty good because I am on a computer at work about 8 hours a day. But like I said before, Michael is a really smart kid, so he can figure things out a lot faster than I can.
Who drives when you are together? Well, neither of us like to drive. . . So it is usually a fight =). But it is usually me during the day and him at night.

Remember how I've been working with Michael's ex for the past month and how she's had to look at our family photo with you and Michael looking so happy and handsome on my file cabinet all day every day? :0

Love,
